I think he's a basically well-intentioned guy who takes himself too seriously.... the "professors are out to get you" bitis too much. The legal education institution has problems, to be sure, but it just chugs along because institutions are inherently difficult to change. It doesn't require adversarial profs.

He doesn't host a website, but a yahoo group. I've had some interaction with him and he is extremely accessible as the author of this book on the message board of this group.

I truly believe he is out to help incoming 1L's who may be naive to how the game is played in law school and I respect what he is trying to do. I think a lot of his ideas and advice are spot on, but his tone can come off as pretty harsh. I can see why it turns some people off.

But it's nice to see a counterpoint to the spun advice you will get from professors/admissions people that isn't all that helpful and just plain wrong sometimes.

The one regret I have about law school is not reading this book before I entered law school.
